Slow loadig

The article loads incredibly slow and its really annoying to wait and be stuck on a loading screen for 2 whole minutes for an article???? Not only that I cant make it into reader mode or have the option to turn it into dark mode when reading the article! So it really strains my eyes. This is very disappointing even though the layout is well made and already in dark mode!

Formidable

Merveilleux

Shallow content

The content is too shallow for all the possibilities. And I despise apps that throw you hints pop ups that you have to dismiss as you're browsing around the app. When that happens, that's a impulsive delete for me.

Typo on Apple TV

On the View tab of the Apple TV App, the heading Astronomy Picture of the Day is misspelled « Astronomy »

The NASA App Is Amazing!

The NASA app is amazing because you can watch every rocket launch and there is so much to see! You can even view 3D Models of rockets, look at the sky view which allows you to see all the names of the stars and planets and it shows you which ones are which, you can do a lot of stuff on the app. I totally recommend this app. My dream has been to pass the Kerman line and reach outer space. To feel weightless. I want to explore the universe in all it’s glory. I want to see the earth from above. I want to know the universe’s secrets and how things work.
I want to launch rockets and do cool things. So thank you NASA, for making history.

Bring Back The Missions

I’ve used the NASA app for ever. And it’s always been my goto for information about current and past space missions. The latest update is very nice but they took away (or put it where I can’t find it) the missions section. I would go there to track where the latest mission was, or to look up upcoming missions. It was a terrific resource. And now it just seems to be gone. NASA please bring back the missions section in the app.

UPDATE

Thank you for your quick reply and app update. I appreciate that there is more access to some missions. But where are the older ones? I would like to be able to look up old missions, Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Voyager, etc. The historical missions are well worth being able to look up as easily as the current ones. Keep up the good work.

Response from developer

We have just released an updated and improved NASA app version 5.1.0. Please check the app store on your device and update to this latest version. You will find all the featured missions in both the home and featured section of the app. Best regards, NASA App Support Team

Where is the live star map

I don’t know where the live star map went on the app but I am extremely disappointed that it is not easily findable under any search terms that audiences might be familiar with. Nothing populated with searches like “live star map”, “Hubble star map”, or “star map”. This is incredibly frustrating and there is no place in the app for people used to the old layout to cross reference old titles of older widgets you used to have within the app. It’s completely different, with lots of cool stuff{!}, but I cannot find the map!!!!

Update: I have changed my review to five stars bc the live sky map is now available again for users!! Yippeee

Please! Bring Back AR Skyview Space Object Identifier

Please make a button on the Home Screen to quickly navigate to the Augmented Reality (AR) SkyView iOS module. It seems to have disappeared with the latest major app upgrade. When I used it previously, I was floored at the level of detail and usefulness of that incredible feature in a prior version of the app. I was able to share with kids and neighbors where planets in our solar system were located in the night sky, which made me seem much smarter and interesting than I am! And it instantaneously helped many other space fans achieve a higher understanding of the amazing network of a vast, spectacular array of heavenly bodies right before our eyes… in real time!

The NASA app is still my go-to when first waking up to set the tone for my day by putting life’s challenges in perspective. And I love seeing super high res images of our Earth and majesty of the universe.

“Autoplay” feature is sorely missed

I loved this app on my apple TV because it would just cycle through randomly selected videos and play continuously. It was so easy to learn new things without having to search and dig.

Now I can only view one video at a time. Since most are short-format, this means a lot of fiddling with the apple remote (difficult to use with my arthritis) and constantly having to parse through menus to find something new to watch. I might just stop using the app now…

Please bring back autoplay! “Add to playlist” (that we can’t see or interact with) is not a suitable substitute that was the old NASA TV.
